Mechanics

I capitalized the first word in every sentence.

I capitalized all proper nouns. (Placed, People, and Titles)

Each sentence I wrote ends with a period, a question mark, or an

exclamation point.

I used punctuation correctly (commas, apostrophes, quotes, etc.).

I spelled all words correctly.

I indented the beginning of each new paragraph.

Grammar

There are no sentence fragments in my work.

There are no run-on sentences that should be two separate sentences.
Subjects and verbs agree in number ( singular subject, singular verb;
plural subject, plural verb).
When I use pronouns, they clearly refer to someone or something.
( Who is he? Who is she?)
I use the same verb tenses (past, present, future) across my writing.
